Association between environmental factors and dengue incidence in Lao People's Democratic Republic: a nationwide time-series study.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDengue fever is a vector-borne disease of global public health concern, with an increasing number of cases and a widening area of endemicity in recent years. Meteorological factors influence dengue transmission. This study aimed to estimate the association between meteorological factors (i.e., temperature and rainfall) and dengue incidence and the effect of altitude on this association in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR).
methodsWe used weekly dengue incidence and meteorological data, including temperature and rainfall, from 18 jurisdictions in Lao PDR from 2015 to 2019. A two-stage distributed lag nonlinear model with a quasi-Poisson distribution was used to account for the nonlinear and delayed associations between dengue incidence and meteorological variables, adjusting for long-term time trends and autocorrelation.
resultsA total of 55,561 cases were reported in Lao PDR from 2015 to 2019. The cumulative relative risk for the 90
conclusionsWe found a lagged nonlinear relationship between meteorological factors and dengue incidence in Lao PDR. These findings can be used to develop climate-based early warning systems and provide insights for improving vector control in the country.
